Title: 2007 Halloween Shows
Post by: Firebutt McGee on August 28, 2007, 09:20:00 pm
Definitely one of my favorite nights to see a show.
 
 Who's already confirmed? A bit early, I'm sure...but fuck it, I'm ALREADY excited.
 
 9:30? CMJ? Bowery? Black Cat? R-N-R Hotel?

Black Cat = Lucero, Bobby Bare Jr, and Whiskey & Co.
 
 Yup, whiskey sounds about right.

You're totally right. I don't know why I didn't remember that. But STILL!

The Police @ MSG.
 
 Which I was overjoyed about & thought couldn't be close to topped.  Until some bastards decided to book Morrissey the same night down here.
 
 *sigh*
 
 2 legends.  2 cities.  Only 1 Director.
 
 The life of a concert addict is NOT all encores, sing alongs, & refreshing concession beers.  Sometimes the underbelly of the situation exposes itself . . .   :(

I'm thinking the Moz. Especially if one or more of my Halloween costume counterparts go (which I'm thinking at least one will).
 
 Oh the joys of a group-themed Halloween costume.

there's a rumour Voltaire will be playing somewhere in DC for Halloween.  (if you're a fan, you can contact him @ voltaire@voltaire.net to help get him down here) There's nothing more perfect than Voltaire on Halloween.  if he doesn't come, I have no idea what I'm going to do...but I took off the 31st & the 1st so I guess I could travel a bit if I have to.
 
 however, I'm in desperate need of costume ideas.

Hit up about 5 of your homegirls.  Run somewhere & make sure all of you cop some legwarmers.  Also make sure all of you got the "Jersey Mall Hair" poppin' that night.  Then all of you make sure you roll in the venue in sync hitting the dance breakdown from the "Love Is A Battlefield" video.  Of course, you'll be Pat Benatar.  Bet you get best costume hands down.
 
 
 You're welcome.

 And Director, I implore you to put on your best 3 piece white suit over a black shirt and let Samantha throw a glass of water in your face.
 
 And all of this this must be videotaped.

Then we get Miss P, 6949, xneverhwerex, meg, kurosawa, and all the rest of the ladies involved.  This MUST happen.

My female friends and I will be Jem and the Holograms... With me as Aja. We have the entire group and are already purchasing horrible 80s attire.
 
 If you attempt this I will cut you. YOU HEAR ME?!? I WILL CUT YOU.

Since I can vouch for her ass shaking skills & dancing background, Miss P. can be the choreographer.  
 
 I could see this getting a million hits on YouTube.  And as far I'm concerned, I'm already a star in my own mind.
 
 Fuck it.  I'm in.

couples costume that i'm trying to get the missus to agree to:
 
 we both wear green bodysuits, wear green face paint, and don some sort of round green hat/helmet thing (TBD).  we would also have a matching green blanket/towel/cloth.  we then go around standing side-by-side, partially wrapped in the blanket (i.e. over our outside shoulders and behind us, sorta like a shared cape).
 
 when people ask, we say we're two peas in a pod (in unison, obviously, acting extra cute  :p )
 
 cue the haters!

As a firm believer in joint couples customs, and the brother and friend of a homosexuals, I have to say that this is the gayest idea I've ever heard.

Second.  I think you should play that off as her idea.

when i lived in cali - my boyfriend and I (and there were others in the group) went as batman and poison ivy. i forgot which other superheroes there were, but my (near nothing costume) won lots of prizes. self made costumes rock!
 
 one year a group of us went as the oompa loompas and we all knew the dance.

based on the expressions of disgust at my costume idea, i'd say mission accomplished.

The last time a significant other and I shared a costume I was JFK Jr. and she was Carolyn Bessette.  That was 1999.  I was beaten by a guy who was Payne Stewart, complete with icicles on his golf cap.  Brilliant.
 
 Or wait, there was the year an SO and I were muslims.  That was 2001.
 
 lately it been guy-guy costumes, like last years Mark Foley to my Congressional Page.

 Made of expanding crack foam, fits on your head, eyes are LEDs and there is a setup so that when there is noise (music whatever) the LEDs pulse to the level like a tape deck VU meter (well it is stolen from one...)
